DBD: Dont Look Down – Tom MacDonald

Tom MacDonald - "Dont Look Down"

I can’t hide my frown, my smile is hiding from my mouth
I can’t lie, my mind keeps finding time to fight myself
I dive so deep inside, feel like I died and I’m in hell
Or I’m so high, my eyes can’t see the ground beneath the clouds
Don’t look down (don’t look down, don’t look down, don’t look down)
Don’t look down (don’t look down, don’t look down, don’t look down)
I tried to keep it quiet, silence all my cries for help
As long as I am rising, till I’m upside down, I won’t look down

This a meteoric rise, keep ignoring all the horror stories like
So-and-so got way too famous and ended up killing himself with some pills and a knife, ay
I am not the one who’s gonna self-destruct, got it out the mud
I came way too far to fail or screw it up, I ain’t dropping balls, I just blew ‹em up, ay
I will never let my mental illness be the cause of my downfall
I will never lie to none of my fans, if I did, it would sound wrong
I will never try convincing you dummies, this isn’t a town hall
Never look down, never look down, just look around, y’all, ay
All of my demons are here, all I can feel is fear
All I can do is keep being myself and that’s what I been doing for thirty-two years
All of my haters came out, chasing my name for some clout, what are they angry about?
They’re climbing as high as their ladders can take ‹em and screaming my name, but I don’t look down

Hi guys, remember me? I’m the white guy everybody wanted to cancel, nice try
Too sick, I might die right, two fists full of middle fingers, I got no time for high fives
Too rich for a drive-by, pay the pilot on my private jet to keep it low and do a fly-by
Take nine knives on a bike ride, why nine? ‹Cause I heard that a pussy has nine lives
I’m the one that y’all hated, I’m the one who won the game, got paid and famous
I’m the one who laughed in all they faces and became the greatest since old Slim Shady
I’m the one who don’t care, I’m the one who goes where no one goes ‹cause they’re scared
I’m the one who don’t choke when the boat don’t float, my throat gets no air
I can barely breathe all the air I need, oxygen is very thin at the top
I can rarely sleep, stars I’m underneath shining too bright and I can’t turn ‹em off
I’m high as the birds now, flying too close to the sun, got a burn, wow
I been turning up and I ain’t turning down, maybe I should chill but I ain’t learning how, ay

I’m not afraid of success, I’m afraid of what happens if I take a rest
I’m afraid that I’ll end up where I was before, in the hood with no money or food for the rent
I’m scared if I look at the water, I’ll drown so I look at the sky and deny there’s a ground
I’m not scared of the altitude up in the clouds, I’m scared of the fall, so I don’t look down

Fuck you
Every single motherfucking one of you
I can’t even see you, because I don’t look down
(Don’t look down
Don’t look down) ah
(Don’t look down
Don’t look down)

I can’t hide my tears, I dry my eyes and more come out
I can’t lie, my fear is suicide, not bank accounts
Keep my chin up but my head weighs like a million pounds
Feels like my neck might break, I hear it crack, ignore the sound
Don’t look down (don’t look down, don’t look down, don’t look down)
Don’t look down (don’t look down, don’t look down, don’t look down)
I tried to keep it quiet, silence all my cries for help
As long as I am rising till I’m upside down, I won’t look down

This a legendary climb, stand on the edge of the ledge and it’s very high
Think of the men who are dead ‹cause it got to their head at a cemetery time
I ain’t the one who gon› throw it away ‹cause I’m feeling too lonely up here
I ain’t the guy who gon› break from the pressure, it’s snowy, my pipes are not frozen up here
I don’t wanna hear about these YouTube rappers, I am not in that bracket, punk
Billboard plaques all stacked in my mansion, a million cash for my taxes, punk
